PHOTO BY ROB LAUGHTER Town Mountain will play on the Songbird Stage at Fir Street Park in Sisters Folk Festival’s free summer concert series on Thursday, August 1. Bluegrass band to take Fir Street Park stage The bluegrass group Town Mountain will bring their raw, soulful swagger to Sisters on Thursday, August 1 at 6:30 p.m. in the Sisters Folk Festival9s free summer concert series. Town Mountain has earned raves for their hard- driving sound, their in-house songwriting and the honky- tonk edge that permeates their exhilarating live perfor- mances, whether in a packed club or at a sold-out festival. The hearty base of Town Mountain9s music is the first and second generation of bluegrass, spiced with coun- try, old school rock 8n9 roll and boogie-woogie. It9s what else goes into the mix that brings it all to life 4 both on stage and on record 4 and reflects the group9s wide- ranging influences, from the Grateful Dead9s Jerry Garcia and the ethereal lyrics of Robert Hunter to the honest, vintage country of Willie, Waylon, and Merle.
